first cut at 2.11.90 livecd uploading



The first cut at a 2.11.90 liveCD is being uploaded:

http://tieguy.org/misc/gnome-livecd-2.11-i386-en-1.iso
http://tieguy.org/misc/gnome-livecd-2.11-i386-en-1.iso.md5

Whenever the md5 is up, the .iso is complete; if the md5 is not up,
the iso is not yet complete. Simple ;)

Known issues:
* more configuration questions than their used to be, which is a problem :/
* sound broken
* English-only right now

Feature, sort of:
* 150M or so of free space!

Most of the obvious suspects are there (gnumeric/abi/planner for
productivity, gimp/inkscape for art, tomboy/f-spot/blam/muine
representing the mono crowd). So are servers: jabberd and hula are
there, though neither really work ATM. They won't take up much more
space when they work, so ignore them ;)

still no beagle; currently ubuntu beagle packages are broken.

I'm open to other suggestions of what to do with that space- if no
other high quality gnome apps come to mind, the space will go to
windows builds of gaim and other such.

There are still *many* TODO items that could be done by folks on this
list. From http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLiveCd_2fToDo :

* prepare a 'cover letter' to use to send this to the media prior to
the 2.12 release. Would explain how to use it, how it won't damage
their machines, highlights of things they should look at, etc.

* create (fake?) emails/todo list/calendar data for the evo that is
loaded on the desktop, so that when someone clicks on evolution, they
get a 'welcome to GNOME' email or something like that instead of an
empty inbox and an empty calendar. Fake data for other apps is
welcome. :)

* improve the media files here:
http://live.gnome.org/MarketingTeam_2fExampleMediaFiles or here:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/livecd-project/root-dir/etc/skel/Desktop/

improvements might include:
* update the community pictures
* port the two .abw docs into docbook so that they can be translated
and output into multiple formats (one is already partially done, you
can see in CVS)
* go wild :)

Note that someone is already working on the 'sneak peek at gnome
2.12', so don't spend time on that one, though maybe a better
stylesheet would be welcome :)

Anyway, g'night- iso should be up in about three hours-
Luis
